NEWS RELEASE: SARI BARI PARTNERS WITH CHUCK AND LISA SURACK AND SWEETWATER TO OFFER EMPLOYMENT TO WOMEN IN KOLKATA, INDIA

Fort Wayne, IN April 2, 2019 – Sari Bari USA expresses deep gratitude to Chuck and Lisa Surack for their recent, generous gift to partner with the women of Sari Bari. Sari Bari USA, located on Wells Street in Fort Wayne, sells beautiful, handmade products made by women who have exited sexual exploitation or are vulnerable to human trafficking. The products they make are part of a growing, social business model that is coupled with programs made available to a woman who chooses employment that will support her in her journey to freedom. Donations are an important part of the growth and success of the organization who is continuing to grow and, through generous gifts like these, can continue to invest, broaden the reach of the product, and engage with more supports — all resulting in greater employment opportunities and choice for those looking to exit their current situation in red-light and vulnerable areas of Kolkata.

“Of course, Sweetwater is synonymous with musical equipment and is known for spectacular customer service and support. But the growing partnerships with important organizations, through the leadership of Chuck and his wife, Lisa, is also well-known in our community.” Says David Grant, Executive Director of Sari Bari USA, Inc. “It is an honor to be both recognized and supported as part of the tapestry of valuable organizations who impact lives in partnership with companies like Sweetwater. It is a blessing to be a part of a community full of compassion as we make not only our home but our world a better place. A special ‘thank you’ to Chuck, Lisa, and all of our friends at Sweetwater as we celebrate the freedom that comes through partnerships like this one. We hope many more will join us as we continue to celebrate life and the increasing opportunities for freedom with Sari Bari.”
